It’s probably only a matter of time before we see a live-action Spider-Gwen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but when that moment comes, who will play her? In the previous Spider Man movies, Gwen Stacy was played by Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider Man 3 before Emma Stone took over the role for The Amazing Spider-Man and the sequel. Hailee Steinfeld Voices an Animated Spider-Gwen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Versebut the character has not yet appeared in the MCU.
For some House of the Dragon fans, Milly Alcock is the perfect choice to play Spider-Gwen. Noting the fans’ interest, digital artist BossLogic created a number of artworks showing what Alcock might look like in the role. For some fans who hadn’t even thought about that casting, they were hooked on it after seeing BossLogic’s new artwork that attracted a lot of attention on social media.
“Holy sh*t, she’s perfect for this role,” comes one reply.
“Actually… Yes?! That’s a great casting,” said someone else.
“I mean…does it get any better than this? No, not in my opinion,” said another fan. “This is perfection.”
Who’s going to play Spider-Gwen?
We can only speculate at this point as to who will play the live-action Gwen Stacy and/or Spider-Gwen in the MCU, as it’s not entirely clear if and when the character will even make an appearance. There are rumors of someone else Spider Man trilogy happens with Tom Holland returning as Peter Parker, and if that happens, that would create plenty of opportunities for a new incarnation of Gwen Stacy.
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, there were also rumors that Emma Stone would reprise her role of Gwen Stacy by appearing as a Spider-Gwen variant from the multiverse. Many fans called for this to happen as Stone was praised for her performance as Gwen in The Amazing Spider Man 1 & 2. Stone addressed the rumors ahead of the film’s release and said she was not involved. After the film’s release, fans were thrilled to see Andrew Garfield return as Peter Parker, which heightened fans’ interest in seeing a Spider Gwen movie that reunites Garfield and Stone across the multiverse.
With no one announced for the role in the MCU yet, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with a live-action Spider-Gwen casting. Meanwhile, Hailee Steinfeld will reprise her role as the voice of Spider-Gwen in the upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which hits theaters on June 2, 2023.
